My kids walked to elementary --no problems.  Nice neighborhood with sidewalks and a crossing guard.  Lots of other kids were also walkers.

However, when I was a child, I walked home with a friend who lived a few blocks closer to the school.  Her house was up on a hill--it was a large house.  She walked up and screamed down to me that the glass was broken....it was a sidelight.  She yelled for her mom who was normally at home but got no answer.

I don't know how--I ran up to her porch--and we decided the best thing to do was go to my house.  My dad just happened to be at home and he called her dad at work.

Her house had been broken into.  Her mom and little sister had taken the bus that morning to go shopping downtown (this was a long, long time ago.  I am a senior citizen.)  Her mom was running late getting back.
My dad told me that the police thought that someone had probably seen her mom get on the bus and knew the house was empty.  Their house was on a busy street with the bus line.

But, I do think about this.  They moved to the suburbs shortly after this.  And, so did we.[/quote]
